Downlod is also possible from PDA if you use that. Cambridge software
does not support XP very well so in my case it took many reboots to
get upload to work from new laptop. I was eventually successful using
a port replicator (I had that from work) that has a serial port on the
back.

Best solution is keep old laptop!

My new laptop does not have a serial port for connecting to my Cambridge
GPS.

What are the best options?

USB to Serial - I hear of those not working.

PCMCIA to Serial - Is this an option.

Any advice appreciated.
